Once upon a time, so very long ago,
There were some numbers, all in a row.
Let me tell you about them, one by one,
And we'll have some fun until we're done.

First, there was one hundred and one,
That's a big number, it's lots of fun.
Next came ninety-two, a number so great,
It's almost as big as one hundred and eight.

Then came eighty-two, a number just right,
It's not too big and not too light.
After that came ninety, a number so fine,
It's close to one hundred, just nine behind.

Next was one hundred, a number so grand,
It's twice as big as fifty, you understand.
After that came eighty-one, a number so neat,
It's almost as big as one hundred and three feet.

Lastly, there was ninety-one, a number so bright,
It's almost as big as one hundred, but not quite.
So that's all the numbers, one by one,
I hope you had fun, and it wasn't too long.

Now you know all about them, every single one,
From one hundred and one to eighty-one.
So next time you see them, don't be afraid,
Just remember this poem, and you'll have it made!
